PitchIt! Çà¹ÏÊÓƵ“ A student societiesÇà¹ÏÊÓƵ™ entrepreneurship competition
Applications are now open for the PitchIt! competition, a dynamic collaboration between the Masood Entrepreneurship Centre (MEC) and UoMÇà¹ÏÊÓƵ™s StudentsÇà¹ÏÊÓƵ™ Union. Join to elevate your society's impact with up to Çà¹ÏÊÓƵ1250 in funding and develop lifelong entrepreneurial skills!
In 2020, the University of Manchester Masood Entrepreneurship Centre (MEC) and StudentsÇà¹ÏÊÓƵ™ Union came together to discuss how to promote entrepreneurship and help students build an entrepreneurial mindset.
Alongside mentorship and support for students looking to launch businesses, projects, and events, an important outcome was PitchIt! - a student societiesÇà¹ÏÊÓƵ™ entrepreneurship competition.
PitchIt! is ideal for students who are driven to develop their entrepreneurial skills, strategic thinking, and network with like-minded individuals.
Societies are encouraged to form an innovative project team to develop a proposal to win up to Çà¹ÏÊÓƵ1,250 from a Çà¹ÏÊÓƵ6,000 prize pot to help support projects and initiatives that will generate income for their society and expand impact.
All societies that submit an entry must be registered with the University of Manchester StudentsÇà¹ÏÊÓƵ™ Union. These societies will benefit from a valuable Pitching workshop session, following which 10 societies will be shortlisted who will have to attend a closed Çà¹ÏÊÓƵ˜Practice Your PitchÇà¹ÏÊÓƵ™ session. The PitchIt! Finals will be an open event where our 10 finalists will face off and winners will be announced!
